“I am happy to chair the jury of this wonderful and perfectly organized competition, which offers a great opportunity to very capable singers. All editions of the Portofino International Opera Competition have been a great success, and in July we will again have the opportunity to help young singers make their way in the world of music. I love to spend these summer days in the spectacular scenery of Portofino, with young talents and a high-quality jury”.

“This is one of the few competitions I know of where everything is in harmony. What is special is the connection that is created between the contestants and the jury. Here the same connection is established that is created in the theater during a show between stage and audience. The final of the competition seemed much more than a concert. Many singers will be busy very soon. I already have my list of people to involve in the future. “

“The level of the competitors who made it to the final was very high, as never before. The components that we found this time were all balanced at a very high percentage level and so this is a great result, I go home very happy. “
